Topics: Food Waste, Sustainability, Climate Change,
Over 70 BILLION POUNDS of food waste reaches our landfills every year, contributing to methane emissions and wasting energy and resources across the food supply chain. EPA estimates that more food reaches landfills than any other material in everyday trash, constituting 24% of municipal solid waste. This wasted food contributes to landfills being the third largest source of human-related methane emissions in the United States. Reducing food waste and redirecting excess food to people, animals, or energy production provide immediate benefits to public health and the environment. It's great to see companies making this commitment - we all need to do our part! Today, I am especially thankful for an abundance of affordable healthy food, a full belly and clean plates at our Thanksgiving table.
